Son of Genius: My father's Conglomerate!
Chapter 32: Am I in love?

Khanza looked down embarrassed not daring to raise his head, "Khanza! Where's your house?" asked Ken who immediately made Khanza raise his head with eyes looking at the reflection of Ken's face in the rearview mirror.

"My house is not far from here, come to the gate." Khanza pointed to an elite housing gate on the right side of the street.

'He looks like a rich kid, but why was that person so rude? Is that woman who this girl is? What Mother? But he let his son go home alone, what if there was a bad guy who caught this girl, it was outrageous!' Ken gritted his teeth, he felt annoyed at Khanza's parents who were negligent in his responsibility to take care of the child.

"Woman, what was your mother?" Ken asked a question that had stuck in his heart.

"Emh, I-iya Om." Khanza replied hesitantly. Ken just nodded his head, a sign of understanding what Khanza was saying.

"But your mother is evil! He doesn't seem to love you." Celtap Nici expressed his opinion. Khanza just kept silent while throwing his face staring out the window.

Right, what Nici said. His mother never loved him, for him Khanza was just a prank that he always wanted to get rid of. His unwanted existence makes him always get rough treatment from the Stepmother. Yes, Khanza was only a child resulting from his father's affair, with another woman, namely Khanza's mother who is now dead, she died giving birth to Khanza. Khanza never once felt the affection of his mother.

Melted tears drenched Khanza's tyrannical cheeks, He rubbed them slowly. The harsh life made him behave precocious. She could hide her pain and sadness with her cheerful attitude.

"Haha! What the hell are you saying? My mother's just pissed off, 'cause I've been naughty." Khanza said while scratching his head on the side, pretending to be embarrassed. But Nici seems to be in disbelief, but he chooses not to reply to Khanza's words.

After driving Khanza to the front gate of his house, Ken and Nici drove to Richard's office.

'Oh my! Why can't I focus on work?' Shelia leaned back on the back of her swivel chair, her head turned, her eyes staring at the ceiling of her office. However, what was seen was still the face of Richard who was smiling sweetly at him.

Huhhhhh... Shelia let out a rough sigh, patting her cheek gently, hoping that what she did could get rid of Richard's shadow in her eyes. However, it was all in vain that there was no effect at all, Richard's shadow continued to disturb him, making him lose focus.

'*What is this? Have I been?' Shelia asked herself a question, and she answered it herself.

'No! That's not possible! How could, I fall in love with her.' Shelia murmured inwardly*.

Amidst his long daydream, his phone rang short, a message sign coming in.

'*Shelia, hurry home! Nici and I cooked you a special meal!' The contents of the message, which turned out to be from Richard.

The deg...! The deg...! Wd*...!

Shelia's heart, pumping blood so fast her heart rippled. It felt like he was coming home soon and meeting Richard right now. He then got up and grabbed a sling bag on the table, but his common sense immediately returned.

"W-what am I doing?" He muttered, "how could I go home just because of one message from him? Nah! It's not me, it's not." Shelia sat back down to undo her initial intention to go home, she then turned on her computer, trying to work again, but unfortunately her focus could not work as before, her mind was always elsewhere.

"Damn! I should how?" Shelia spoke to herself while biting her lower lip.
